Bassnectar

By combining sound and force with weight, the Bassnectar experience engulfs the
senses. It is as physical as it is auditory; the adventure has no rules, no limitations,
and no hesitation in fusing the familiar with the strange or the classic with the
cutting edge.
Bassnectar is the brainchild of Lorin Ashton, and it exists as an open-sourced musical
project that is as diverse as it is heavy, as raw as it is meticulous, and as fierce as it
is imaginary. Spanning the spectrum of sonic style, the music covers every genre
imaginable and smashes it all into a synthesis of intense, wobbling basslines and
hypnotic soundscapes.
Whether remixing, collaborating, writing, DJing, performing live, or working on
constant social networking, Bassnectar’s music is the lure and social impact is the
sincere intention. According to Ashton, “We are so blessed, and so deeply fortunate
to be alive and awake right now…it’s a basic truth, but it’s very powerful. I think
privilege confers responsibility, and Bassnectar is a reflection of that opportunity to
give back; the motion of my cells bouncing back at the world.”

Along the way, the Bassnectar tour has headlined stops at some of the most noted
venues in the country. After a long line of sell-out shows, Bassnectar never fails to
gather monster crowds on the festival circuit. Some of his most celebrated sets took
place at the nation’s top festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, ACL, Bonnaroo,
and Ultra Music Festival. Whether performing at an intimate club or at a major
festival, Bassnectar energizes audiences with an experience unlike any other.
